Jalaa Writers’ Collective was created in 2009 by ten Nigeria-based writers who came together in an effort to tackle the book production and distribution challenges of the local publishing industry. The business model of Jalaa is based on the premise that there exists “a gap between professional, traditionally published books that sell in the thousands and amateurish subsidy and self-published books that sell in the hundreds”. As such, the collective aims to engage the weaknesses of the industry by pooling the talent, resources and experience of its members in a systematic and profit-oriented manner.
JWC is giving away two copies each of its new titles this April. To win a book, send an email to jalaa.writers@gmail.com and tell us which of our authors' previous works was your favourite. Win one of Roses and Bullets, Pride of the Spider Clan, Blackbird or The Runaway Hero. Eight books to be won to kick start your Easter reading frenzy. Winners will be announced on this 28th April 2011.
